'Sleeper'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
the legendary Lana Turner/John Garfield chemistry was entirely on display.
The best part of this movie is how obvious it is that Lana Turner is capital-T Trouble, and watching Garfield's inability to step back from teh lust and think carefully. In Cain's other big novel, Double Indemnity, the male protagonist throws himself off the cliff in full possession of his faculties, but The Postman Always Rings Twice is like watching a guy too doped up to know better.
Susan Sarandon and Kevin Costner in BULL DURHAM is one of my favorite couples.
Jamie and Aurelia in Love Actually.
Not classic, but a new favorite of mine.
wrod. And Garfield told HUAC "Fuck you," so I may have to like him forevah, now(Thank you, "Mysteries and Scandals")
I know we have some Gary Cole fans here, so I wanted to include this bit from Stephanie Zacharek's review of Ring 2.
I read this as Gary Coleman and was mightily disturbed.
I hate Sally and dislike Harry but love When Harry Met Sally. Strange.
"I'm Gary Coleman from TV's 'Diff'rent Strokes'! I made a lot of money that got stolen by my folks. Now I'm broke, and I'm the butt of everyone's jokes!"
"You win! It sucks to be you!"
Interview with Ricky Gervais in today's NY Times.
Thanks for that, Hayden. That was excellent. "It's good."
Glad you liked it! I've apparently got quite the reputation in my office for being the guy who likes The Office, because two different co-workers have brought me that article.
